This game has been a part of my subconsciousness for a quarter of a century. It appears in my dreams and probably impacts my waking life just as much. Especially the color scheme and geometry.
Duddeeeeee I've been trying to remember the name of this game for the better part of 25 years because I had it as a kid and have been wanting to replay it. This came up in my recommendations for some reason and my life's mission is finally at an end lmao
I feel the same way bro I used to play a game with my cousin including this one on the Dreamcast years ago around when turok was out and I can’t remember the name of it it was like people in a tower or something and at the end was a huge dinosaur or dragon you fought on the roof lol they wore blue suits 🤔
I searched Laguna Beach on Google and found this, IDK why i randomly just remembered i used to play this all the time. Nostalgia is unreal, even the noise from the start menu lol
Same here! I'm so glad that I finally too found this long lost game. Haven't seen or played it since it was new back in the late 90's. I only remembered those screeming jumping boxes an the red transparent stairs with a ghost thing power-up in the beginning of the game.
I think the game didn't benefit right away from the 3DFX patch. But even so it looked amazing and very distinct from most games released during the first half of 1997
I wish to see a remaster. This whole dark atmosphere and kinda bizarre was the perfect mix. To bad there will be no new games like this anymore. I liked the first game more than the second.
How weird that this was a game with a really nice graphics in my memories until I saw it now. I haven't seen it since '97-'98 because I forgot the name of it. Good memories.
Yes!! I just was thinking about it and I remembered it being like super polished and fully 3D, I had no idea it was like all 2D Sprite art on a 3D plane!
That soundtrack is one of the best. I remember I played the demo now than 20 times and thought if I played it differently it would unlock the whole game
I used to play this since I was 5 with my brother. Just the soundtrack warms up my heart and brings tears to my eyes. It’s so perfect. I remember every move, every detail. It’s makes me so happy to watch you play, I couldn’t ask for more. ❤
I used to sit next to my dad and play this when I was 7. I would shoot the gun, he would move/jump and my little brother would watch and throw the mini nuke. Nothing comes close to the level of absurdity, comical horror and sheer artistic originality of this game. It's a psychedelic dream-like sci-fi suspense adventure and I wish more people would be more original when designing aliens and sci-fi games these days. I was thinking what is it about the 90s that inspired so much great art from that era. Unfortunately I don't think we are in a time like that now but I believe within the next 10-20 years we may be lucky enough to see another artistic decade like that. Sick of the crap!
Late 90's Interplay games were just something else. Studio pushed the imaginative limit of 3D gaming during that era. Not too much focused on graphics, but more about letting developers go wild with their ideas. It's a damn shame how the company has been juggled around for the last 20+ years.
45:04 is where it's at, baby! Love how this game was scary, exciting, and provided comic relief (like a James Bond-themed snowboard ride) when needed. I'd also like to acknowledge how beautifully designed the rooms are from 22:30 to 26:25 with the mirroring and reflective services. Cool even by today's standards.
Finally found it. I typed in “black parachute shooter game” 😂. Played this game forever on the new colored IMac in 97. Good times. Thanks for the nostalgia 🤙🏼
That intro part with the mine crawler eating through the mountain range is actually incredible lol seeing this as an adult really makes me appreciate how good these artists were!
For a kid with almost no friends and bullied at school, this game (along with other great games) and a reliable PC was the best friend I could have during sad times.
I've been trying for the last few years to remember what this game was called and couldn't dig up info. Then this just randomly popped up in my TH-cam recommendations and I'm like, nah it can't be.
We wrote our own movie script. At one point we got close to an animated tv show. But I think it would have been too kid friendly so glad it didnt go through.
@@nickbruty9241 I hope to see more of MDK. The idea of alien megaships the size of cities filled with absurdity and horror is one of the coolest and most original sci-fi concepts. The not totally sensical layouts of the mine crawlers in MDK gives it a real alien feeling. Not a human-kind but just painted blue and in space feeling.
I absolutely loved this game so much! Me and my late stepfather used to have competitions on the P.C to see how many headshots we could get! I remember I completed it one day and ran to the bottom of the garden to tell him, I was so pleased 😂
Did you try to save an explosive bullet for the first boss? When you get the option to fire a few shots at him, before he is aware of you being there and starts firing back, you can select those explosive ones. First time I tried, I blew his head off in one shot, and that was the boss...... :D
@@smeghead5021 I was so surprised: All other times it was an intense fight that lasted for fifteen minutes or so, and all of a sudden it was over in a cutcene. I was shocked!
My memory of this game came back to me out of no where, I had to look this up, so many more memories I have of this game came flooding back to me What I’d give to turn back time
I spent so many hours trying to get through these level - I recall the James Bond music in the snowboard level and the turquoise mirror world level and using the binoculars to zoom in on the aliens who shake their asses at you taunting you and making some annoying noise that I still remember to this day
One of the very few memories I have of my grandmother was playing this on her computer--the only one in the house--while (weirdly enough) she lay on her deathbed. When you die the screen is filled with a big skull and crossbones, and I used to shield her from seeing it because I didn't want to remind her of death. Watching this is giving me the weirdest kind of nostalgia. She eventually left that computer to me because she loved seeing me play.
Came here looking for a way to pass a point that looked like it was a dead end. Finally found it. It was the room with the bright colors in world 3. Somehow I thought that I had to use the tornado and deploy my parachute to go up, but the ease this guy used to just jump up....
What a fantastic trip this game was. Surreal, humorous, frustrating af, couldn’t quit until it was won. My head was constantly commenting “the designers have clearly been dropping acid, while remembering every brilliant flash.” And the MUSIC, even THAT kept me fixated.
When I bought my very first PC I got two games with it. One of them was Grand Theft Auto. And the other one was this. I loved it so much. Couldn't even begin to tell you the number of times I played through it. Good times :)
When I moved to New York City to attend NYU I got one of the first iMac G3s. This game came with the computer and I played the hell out of it. Graphics and gameplay were good, but I think what I enjoyed the most was the humor. I never played the sequel. I wonder how that one was.
Incredible how when you're a kid you're so easily amused. I must have played this game over 100 times. Nowadays, I have steam with over 200 games and I can't play any and feel the same interest I had when I was a kid
Remwmber olaying this game as a kid, i didnt know what to do or where to go, so i eneed up going everywhere just to understand it. I loved ever scenario, every map, every monster... I loved thst you havr MDK 2 also to play, you saved doc and doggy from bad guys in the MDK 2 😁❤️
Amazing game! And so well optimised, only 17mb of hd space and 16mb of RAM to play! If this was released today it would probably need 80GB of ssd and 16GB of ram no doubt 😂
Playing this game in any other mode than 3DFX (forgot which one but i prefer Software anyway) the game uses higher resolution textures because 3DFX was always limited to 256x256 pixels and some textures go up to 512x512 which is mighty impressive for a game this age. Tommy Tallarico also composed Earthworm Jim which is highly praised. But the soundtrack of MDK is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy more epic and awesome. I became partially obsessed by it.
This game traumatized me as kid, and im dreaming it as adult, iwasnt sure it was real. but after many years it popped on my steampage and i was baffled
I cant express enough gratitude for the "No commentary " interrupting the game with reactions is obnoxious.I remember this when it was new. I just now realize thus had the gliding used in Warframe today.
The MDK in the name apparently was a codename for the game while it was in development and its supposed to mean "Most Delicious Ketchup" and the development team wouldn't come up with a proper name for the game when it was completed, so they just left the name as MDK...
I remember having this on a CD with FIFA 97 which was fully playable from start to finish. I could never figure out why they would put a demo of a game alongside a fully playable game on a disc🤔
This was such a bizarre and almost nonsensical game. I love it so much and have fond memories playing it as a kid.
get you, bud.
1:14:46
It wasn’t nonsensical. The story was shoot everything that moves. That’s solid storytelling even to this day.
me too
Ur old
This game has been a part of my subconsciousness for a quarter of a century. It appears in my dreams and probably impacts my waking life just as much. Especially the color scheme and geometry.
I feel ya bro
Same for me
SAME!
Same
Same here. This Industrial Gothic atmosfere haunts me.
The soundtrack was incredible. Best game I ever played in my childhood.
Best and favorit game too 🙃
This and the Abe's oddesy games was my favourite
Fun fact... This was the first game ever to have a zooming scope feature.
Wait really
wait, I want to beleive but I can't find any proof
Outlaws - It was released on April 7, 1997
MDK - It was released on May 5, 1997
I think the Outlaws was the first game to have the zooming feature.
You could hack it in Quake with console commands and keybinds
@@MateusRG Yup

If it helps, remembering old stuffs keeps you away from dementia one more day.

Bruh how tf could u forget?? 😂😂💀
Same here!
I'm so glad that I finally too found this long lost game.
Haven't seen or played it since it was new back in the late 90's.
I only remembered those screeming jumping boxes an the red transparent stairs with a ghost thing power-up in the beginning of the game.
Most people dont mention this but the epic soundtrack in this game is a part of its unique charm.
aynen
I loved this game so much as a child: the level design, the music, the visuals. It felt so unique at that time.
that looks extremely good for 97'. loved that
mysterious
gruesome mood. one of the best games.
I think the game didn't benefit right away from the 3DFX patch. But even so it looked amazing and very distinct from most games released during the first half of 1997
Played this a lot with a friend who passed away a few years back. This brings back some good memories. Crazy game.
I was going to write exactly the same thing
I wish to see a remaster. This whole dark atmosphere and kinda bizarre was the perfect mix. To bad there will be no new games like this anymore. I liked the first game more than the second.
me too ! this game needs a remaster!
@@gut__ Maybe a petition could help or crowd funding?
the second one is kinda bad, but the first one is a real gem
Give it 5 years, and AI will be remastering games for us. It will happen.
@@verzeda what I have allready seen, it could be a possibility indeed. It's amazing but also a bit scary at the same time.
How weird that this was a game with a really nice graphics in my memories until I saw it now. I haven't seen it since '97-'98 because I forgot the name of it. Good memories.
Yes!! I just was thinking about it and I remembered it being like super polished and fully 3D, I had no idea it was like all 2D Sprite art on a 3D plane!
I've tried to play this and other 3rd person games from the 90's, but the constantly moving camera is a deal-breaker.
Theres a study about that, i think, at least youtube level analysis. How we remember games from childhood were as good as todays graphic.
Style-wise I would say it has aged fairly well, despite the dated graphics
Watching this brings tears to my eyes. I played this when I lived in Syria. My favourite game ever. A lot of good memories.
Ukraine 98 I made a graffiti on the building MDK .... it's still there
Thank you for the Memories!
That soundtrack is one of the best. I remember I played the demo now than 20 times and thought if I played it differently it would unlock the whole game

1:05 good times playing this game.
Best game ever created, 90s childhood i'll never forget this. I love so much!
Nice. This and Flashback ruled my teenage years. Have never truly been able to get the sound design and music out of my head.
I used to sit next to my dad and play this when I was 7. I would shoot the gun, he would move/jump and my little brother would watch and throw the mini nuke.

This game was so unique and different at the time. The gliding was cool asf.
It still is. =)

My grandma bought this badboy for me back in the days...what a legend she was!
Pure classic gameplay .
I remember playing this in the early morning hours.
Great times
Finally found it. I typed in “black parachute shooter game” 😂. Played this game forever on the new colored IMac in 97. Good times. Thanks for the nostalgia 🤙🏼
Same
watching this for the nostalgia from a random thought, appreciate the upload
such an underrated game.

One of the best games i've ever played! i played so much this game. Thats why today it came to my mind. Murder Death Kill!
This game brings me great memories, it was one of my first games I've ever played when I had my Windows 98, back in the day!!!
이 게임은 제가 초등학교 1학년 시절 아버지가 처음으로 집에 컴퓨터를 사오셨을때 깔려져있던 게임이네요.
추억이 가득합니다 ^^
Comigo foi o mesmo!
This is pure sci-fi with a brilliant idea! OST is outstanding!
I've been trying for the last few years to remember what this game was called and couldn't dig up info. Then this just randomly popped up in my TH-cam recommendations and I'm like, nah it can't be.
I played this almost 20 years ago and enjoyed every bit of it
They could easily make a movie or a TV series with this game aesthetics. The music is already done. Oh my, I need a remake!
A movie had actually been planned for a while.
We wrote our own movie script. At one point we got close to an animated tv show. But I think it would have been too kid friendly so glad it didnt go through.

My first game at PC with Descent 2 lol
Thanks for the memories ❤
Seeing this come up my feed makes me want to install it. I was like 7 when this came out on PC. Hope it’s available on Steam.
My memory of this game came back to me out of no where, I had to look this up, so many more memories I have of this game came flooding back to me
What I’d give to turn back time

Z, Myth: The Fallen Lords, M.A.X, KKnD, MDK, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Doom/Quake/DN3D, Swiv3D, WarCrafts and C&C........ best era in gaming.
This game was AMAZE-BALLS!
I still have a game magazine with this on the cover!
BTW, this video needs more likes and views!!!
I remember the voices of that aliens or whatever they where really scared me at the time, no wonder why they are creepy as hell hahah

This game is so unique, there is still nothing like it. Even MDK 2 failed to replicate it.
True
Dude FINALLY found this game! This was on the back of my mind for so long and the details were so fuzzy
Just picked this game up from a retro game store it's weird but I like it 🎮
What a fantastic trip this game was. Surreal, humorous, frustrating af, couldn’t quit until it was won. My head was constantly commenting “the designers have clearly been dropping acid, while remembering every brilliant flash.” And the MUSIC, even THAT kept me fixated.

This game was included when you bought an original iMac in the late 90s.
The way the robots taunt you always made me laugh.
I remember playing the demo version in my school's computer lab back in '98. Bizarre, fun times
What Music is playing at 21:15. I cant find it in the Soundtrack of the game at all.
Incredible how when you're a kid you're so easily amused. I must have played this game over 100 times.
Nowadays, I have steam with over 200 games and I can't play any and feel the same interest I had when I was a kid
The mad french music video once you complete it. In the late 90s when I played it, I was left blinking at the screen going "...what?"
Jesus Christ I just remembered this sounds and music and the parachute … memory is incredible
Amazing souvenir I didn't finish the game before I enjoyed watching the end here, it's surprising
one of my first games in my earliest memories, took me awhile to find it. i played this alongside crusader no remorse on the ps1!
Remwmber olaying this game as a kid, i didnt know what to do or where to go, so i eneed up going everywhere just to understand it. I loved ever scenario, every map, every monster... I loved thst you havr MDK 2 also to play, you saved doc and doggy from bad guys in the MDK 2 😁❤️
This needs a remake! More content
the gameplay and also the soundtrack of the game was awesome, i enjouyed from begining to the end
1:13:05 anybody knows the name of the track? Cant find it in the ost playlists
Amazing game! And so well optimised, only 17mb of hd space and 16mb of RAM to play! If this was released today it would probably need 80GB of ssd and 16GB of ram no doubt 😂
MDK 1 + 2 is my favorite game of all the time. Wish theres a remake or 3rd Sequels of it... can't wait.
What is the name of the song at the end?
Does anybody know?
Everything in this game is like my computer room. Smells like just yesterday
Di tahun 1997 pertama kali saya memainkan game mdk di perangkat komputer di ruang kerja bisa bermain berjam-jam sampai lupa waktu 😅
I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUTCH!!!
Brilliant music and game! Programmers did a great job!
Playing this game in any other mode than 3DFX (forgot which one but i prefer Software anyway) the game uses higher resolution textures because 3DFX was always limited to 256x256 pixels and some textures go up to 512x512 which is mighty impressive for a game this age.
Tommy Tallarico also composed Earthworm Jim which is highly praised. But the soundtrack of MDK is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy more epic and awesome. I became partially obsessed by it.
It was always bizarre to me that adding 3dfx would reduce the texture size. Go figure.
The music was so nice!
Extremely Underrated Nostalgia
it was the game with the best soundtrack of my childhood
This game traumatized me as kid, and im dreaming it as adult, iwasnt sure it was real. but after many years it popped on my steampage and i was baffled
I used to play this and Commandos back in the day on my PC as a kid. A much simpler time.
I cant express enough gratitude for the "No commentary " interrupting the game with reactions is obnoxious.I remember this when it was new. I just now realize thus had the gliding used in Warframe today.

I remember this taking me a whole summer to beat when I was 10, retrying a million times. To see it's only 90 minutes of gameplay....
I loved this game as a kid so fun and also challenging, the soundtrack was dope as fuck
Played this as a kid. Loved it!
Eerie, quirky and utterly bizarre. There will never be another game like MDK
Aaahhh I remember playing this with my dad! Is there any way to play it in 2021?
yes you can get it on GOG.com
I loved this game. not many games today equal it`s gameplay and fun.
I remember playing this in my old PC back then.. I was amazed with graphic.. Playing with the graphic settings for the game to run smooth. 😂
Beautiful❤ and the sound ❤
I find it after 20 years😄😄 thank you!
Played it as a kid and spent years searching it online and now i found it!
No fuckin way it was only 90 minutes long. That was one of my first games
Q: What drugs were the MDK developers using?
A: All the drugs
I remember having this on a CD with FIFA 97 which was fully playable from start to finish. I could never figure out why they would put a demo of a game alongside a fully playable game on a disc🤔

@@trashtrashisfree Thank you 😊
You can see how games like Halo drew their inspiration possibly from games like this.
I was in my late we 20's constantly playing this game late night after work! Now I'm nearly 60! Wtf ! Time has flown too fast! Too soon!
used to play this as a kid. no wonder I like the game "CONTROL" so much
I play this game as a kid, very ahead of his time
